Board members of the Judy Moore Scholarship Endowment Committee announced recently that two scholarships for $2,000 each have been awarded to Southwestern Community College students David Mathis and Kimberly Bailey.
Awards are given for tuition, books, room and board and any other directly related educational expenses to candidates who qualify and are enrolled in nursing degree programs.
Bailey, who aims to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, is the wife of Scott Bailey and the daughter of Richard and Linda Hammond of Franklin.
David also plans to complete his BSN degree and is currently employed at Highlands Cashiers Hospital and Angel Medical Center. He is married to Andrea Mathis, and his parents are Nathaniel and Danielle Mathis of Newark, NJ.
The scholarship endowment is affiliated with the North Carolina Community Foundation and was established in 1997 in memory of Judy Moore, RN, who - through her devotion to the nursing profession - was an inspiration to fellow nurses, patients and leaders in the community.
Anyone needing additional information about the scholarship may contact Anne Hyder at 828.524.6564.
